• Lamifil has a 500kN, 20m test bench that is digitally controlled and logged, improving test precision.
  • We have experience with all conductor types (HTLS, composite core, GAP, catenary wires, feeders,…) and various anchoring types, including press fittings, epoxy/resin casts and wedge type clamps.
  • We are fully flexible in the choice of fittings to be used and can advise based on our experience.
  • This test can be executed while running a current of up to 2000A through the conductor.
  • The same set-up can be used for testing the accessories of the conductor.

  • The conductor is mounted in between one static point and one movable point;
  • Depending on the customer’s choice, the conductor is cast in resin or mounted in a fitting;
  • Once mounted, tension is gradually increased until breakage;
  • The breakage is examined and a graph is created to reflect tensile strength versus strain;
  • A full report is prepared including test object data, test description, set-up, procedure, results and conclusions.
